Great win from Barnsley.. What's happened to cooks hill or were Barnsley just that much better?

Game was fair even up until mid-way through second half. Then Barnsley rolled over them. Barnsley went in at half time 1-0 up, could of looked going either way after they break. Then a Mistake by the cookers keeper open the flood gates for Barnsley. Cookers defense looked really tied in the last 20 min. I think cookers had a few out of what I was told….

So to me it looks like there is a clear top 5 from the results so far this season... Dudley, Swansea, Lambton, Mayfield and Barnsley after there weekend result. Can anyone see another club getting into the top 4 by the end of the year and what are your predictions for the top 4?

Dudley are going to be losing about 5 first grade players to a month long world cup trip in the next couple of weeks, so i hear.

[Drunken ranger]

Dudley are going to be losing about 5 first grade players to a month long world cup trip in the next couple of weeks, so i hear.
After watching there ressies yesterday i believe there are some players there well capable of stepping up

[leftrightout]

Yeah that are one of the clubs in a position that will still be able to stay competitive with reserve graders stepping up.
But that many out of the team who have not dropped points yet, i dont think they will keep that kind of run going.

Im also sure they wont be the only team that has world cup trips taking players away. It is just a fairly large number of 1st grade players.

[footballfan]

So does anyone want to try and make a top 4 prediction already?

[leftrightout]

So does anyone want to try and make a top 4 prediction already?
I haven't seen all teams play yet (swansea) so i couldn't really make a fair judgement.
But ill say
1. New Lambton - i just have a feeling. I think they play good football and have some experienced players
2. Dudley - even after losing players i think they will do enough.
3. Swansea - just based on results so far
4. Barnsley - if they find consistency, they have shown what they do when they click and play well.
5. Mayfield - unlucky to not make my 4 but someone will be close but miss out and i think it might be them.

Just my opinion from what I've seen and heard.
I will also add, even after the weekend, i am nervous leaving cooks hill out of that top 5. Im sure they will be pushing towards a semi spot by end of season.

I agree, I haven't seen or played against all the teams yet but I think the top 3 that u said will be there (not sure in what order) Barnsley and Mayfield are always a tough game... if cooks hill are to make it they need to drastically change things from what I have seen.

I havent seent cooks hill play, i left them out going off results but their history of being strong is what makes me think they could still be there.

Hi Jardel, as far as I know Cardiff were notified as soon as we knew. It was in sporting pulse as well.

[Hotline]

That's not a good field. Surprised it's up to ZPL standards tbh.

You may be thinking of another field at uni but I can think of a few fields in our competition that are of a worse standard than no. 2. The worst thing about playing there is the distance to the changerooms. Not ideal but at least we got on. The field held up ok but was a lot wetter than what I expected.

I wasn't aware there were any zpl field standards to be honest.

Agree with you on the res grade ref... ruined a potentially good game to be fair.

1st grade finished 5-1

In regards to drinking at no.2, we don't make the rules. It's a privately owned field so the uni do. Once again not ideal with the change of field for the day, but at least we got on. The uni are being a bit precious with their fields atm.

As a referee myself, there's different types of swearing. There's swearing if you **** up, acceptable, swearing at an opposition, and swearing at the ref.

Dependant on the level of the swearing at the opposite, I would say it could warrant a red, swear at the ref and you're off.

Not one word directed at ref, players told other player to **** off, no more worse the 50 to 100 times I myself swore without even a warning, definite double standard. Even funny that the wallsend coach offered to give a statement and recommend we report the ref for such poor officiating during the first half even before the two dodgy pens against them.

Not one bloke from our team swore directly at the ref to receive a straight red. Or even the offensive language directed at another team in this case wallsend was a straight red card, a yellow(warning) would be fine. We all cop language every week whether its a bad tackle etc. lets just say the referee treated today's game as an under 10s game and wrecked a potential great game.

There is no yellow card for OFFINABUS-straght RED.Number 7 for Barnsley blatantly fouled by shirt pulling and directed comments at the referee which deserved a red card.I would say that a distinct lack of discipline was the problem.

So you were on the ground and heard exactly what was said then, I'm sure the ref told you what he wanted you to hear. It really is amazing that to you a referee is never wrong, you constantly defend abysmal refereeing displays on this forum. But that just the typical ref in you cant amit errors.

ADMIT errors.
Yes I was at the ground and I did see what took place.I don't always defend refereeing displays just as I don't always comment on the poor standard of football produced by players.
When did I speak to the referee?

I didn't ask if you were at the ground I said were you on the field to hear exactly what was said, players can ask questions without being offensive! And I think you need to go back and read what you always write as everytime someone writes on here about rubbish refereeing you jump in and say the ref was write never ADMIT they we shit and wrong. If you weren't on the field the only way you could know what was said and what the red card was for is you must have spoken to the ref and if you didn't then your just assuming you know what happened, an just defending his rubbish performance because you always think surely the ref can't be wrong his a ref they're never wrong players are always the ones who stuff up and cause the issues.

[darthmuller]

I for one was on the field when this language was thrown out.

The player who received the first red card said, F**king C**t. Now in my opinion regardless of whether it was directed at a player or referee, that kind of language is completely unacceptable. You have kids, family, friends watching the games, although it is a semi-professional league, it is still in some way professional. I totally agree with the referee's decision.

The second red card, the player called the referee a F**king joke twice. Now after the first time, the ref decided to ignore it, but the player immediately repeated himself and hence the red card followed. I don't know what sort of player can call a referee a f**king joke to his face twice and expect nothing to come of it, but the red card was definitely deserved.

Would love to go against you in a court room if you would take such poor and incorrect info as you evidence just shows that you didn't hear and still have no idea what was said, just keep dreaming that you referees are never wrong. Petty use always manage to ruin this great sport by trying to be bigger then it. Just remember games still go ahead without refs, but if there's no players then it's just three idiots standing in a paddock thinking there never wrong, bet they wouldn't get many of the spectators to watch that

would prefer to rely on the word of darthmuller who WAS on the field.Just goes to show that your players are either deaf or handle the truth very carelessly.The words relayed by darth are exactly what I heard from another source who was on the field-not the referee.My last comment on this subject.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Ever reffed bulldog?
By that, I mean participated in a official referees coaching course where you actually have to know the laws of the game and put them into practice?

Do you go to work and get called a f-ing joke? A f-ing c-***? Do you complain at a restaurant when they get your order wrong and call them those words?

What makes it acceptable on a patch of grass?
If you don't want a ref, ask not to have one, I'm sure there's a heap of team that would kill for a ref on a weekend.
These blokes and girls, give up their time to give something back and enable others to play the game?

I concede, referees can make some horrible decisions. You see it in every code. Every game. What's one big reason that causes the problem? Lack of referees. If you get 100 players trial for your team, chances are your gonna end up with a better team than if 11 blokes rocked up. Why don't we have enough? A lot join at 14-16 and start reffing 6s or now 12s or something and the abuse they get at this level is appalling. I reffed a 12G grade game and my linesmen got abused for pretty much entire second half and after the game because the spectators didn't know the offside rule. I agree that not always is swearing a send off. Common sense is needed sometimes. If I was sworn at I would move away and ask him to come and talk. This gives the offender 10-20 metres to choose the outcome. If he walks over in a civil way and would like an explanation I'm more than happy to give my interpretation of what happened the way I saw it. I can understand passion and frustration, but if I were to be abused after this I would caution for dissent. However every referee has a different approach just like every player is different. Referees don't abuse players for missing shots or giving away a pass.

As a player, I asked for consistency within the game. Referees do have room for improvement it must be said. The standard has dropped over the last 5 years, in my opinion.

Like I said you weren't there just relying on a bit of hear say. Shows you have no idea. Myself being there and hearing it for myself talking to all parties involved including the ref just makes my point more correct. Anyway you just keep protecting your prescious refs now they need it with the shit displays they're putting in this year.

As a player, I asked for consistency within the game. Referees do have room for improvement it must be said. The standard has dropped over the last 5 years, in my opinion.

+1 great post.

What's lambtons ground like with water? Haha

Lambton play in the NPL. If you are referring to New Lambton, their ground looks to be pretty much the same as most clubs with water (since nearly all games were called off this weekend).

[darthmuller]

Like I said you weren't there just relying on a bit of hear say. Shows you have no idea. Myself being there and hearing it for myself talking to all parties involved including the ref just makes my point more correct. Anyway you just keep protecting your prescious refs now they need it with the shit displays they're putting in this year. Also how could you take darths word of what happened his from wallsend I'm supprized he could even spell the words he mistakingly thought he heard

You might want to have a look at your own grammar before correcting others.

So you believe nothing was said to the referee and that he just "spur of the moment" warranted 2 of your players Red Cards?

P.s. I'm not from Wallsend, I only play for them. Unfortunately for you, you are from Barnsley.

To be honest I was very surprised that we got on, only to be even more surprised at the state of Lydon Oval. It was as good as I've seen it, even after all the rain we've had. There were some wet spots in the corners but other than that the field was tip top.

I'm not sure what has happened to Dudley, won the first 5 games, then lost the last 4. I didn't feel like we played that well, missed a bucket load of chances, but it still felt like a comfortable win.

I never said nothing was said I just stated that the wording your inferring was used is incorrect.

I do feel sorry for you though as you not being from wallsend, and still choosing to play for them makes you worse then someone from there. Or are you just one of there hired guns they're paying to try and finish just above relegation

but the club ur from.. At least the boys at wallsend are trying to get a great club back to the top. Everyone I've spoken to has been excited about Wallsend working their way back to NBN with players like Owen Mostyn, Kyle Macorig, Zac Douglas to name a few.. They have respect from all of Newcastle when it comes to football. yeh they pay some "guns" there but the boys there have the clubs future in mind. They haven't promised the world, but I guarantee they'll be in nbn in the next few years. Something you'll never have any idea about. 👌

People like you make it to easy on this forum to get bites. I'm not embarrassed about anything I've written on here. How could my club be embarrased about what we've achieved as we have won everyone of our promotions and have done it all through the hard work of the club, the committee and especially all the players who play there for the club and the good times nothing else.
Who cares if they make NBN which I doubt will happen in the very near future as you state. It's still just park football

[pv4]

:rof: Bulldogs1962 makes a huge deal over the wording of the alleged dissent, and tells everyone they're wrong, but won't say what he believes to be the real words spoken :rof:

Whatever were the exact words of the alleged dissent on the weekend, it seems that the ref, as well as at least this darthmuller guy, thought it was "OFFINABUS"-style dissent, and deserved a red. If it wasn't that bad, maybe the Barnsley guy(s) shouldn't have been as silly as to make it seem to most other people that it in fact was that bad. If the Barnsley guy(s) just resumed their positions, and didn't say anything directed at a player or ref, nothing would have happened. Barnsley over the years have been successful, and can play great football, but do have a reputation of having a short temper. I've personally been involved in an abandoned game due to said temper. Maybe other than wasting time blaming refs for this & that, they shouldn't put themselves in the position of even deserving a yellow card for dissent, etc.

Also as much as outsider has a ref-biased view, I don't think I've ever seen him (even in this circumstance) say that the refs are or were fault-free. Outsider is a ref inspector. As in, he is given the task of assessing what the refs did right and wrong. And his notepad is never empty - I've seen him doing his job first-hand. Yes, refs make mistakes. No, outsider has never said they don't. All he did in this specific scenario was highlight that how the ref (and others) took the incident(s), by the rules it is red card worthy.

[leftrightout]

I've personally been involved in an abandoned game due to said temper.

I believe i watched this game and from memory that said temper was sparked by quite a bad and unneccesary challenge by a Westlakes player. I dont think its right to bring up a match a few years ago as a way to get a point across so lets not get too caught up in the past, it doesnt matter.
I believe since that time though, the club committee and coaching staff have changed, for the better, and they are working their way through any issues. I have no doubt the people running the club will not stand for what has happened on the weekend even if some of it was thought to be harsh.

Discipline was obviously a problem for them on the weekend, but every club has weeks where discpline can be problem though.

Unfortunately Bulldog has not helped the situation, every teams comes across refs thats have "shocking" games and make mistakes, they are human after all. The fact is you just have to suck it up regardless of how bad you/anyone/everyone thinks it is.

There not short on players because they signed alot however 8 players gone to world cup 5 first graders. I guess that slides players up threw each grade.

Hence the poorer result across all grades I would say.

If Wallsend can secure a longer lease surely their facilities are adequate.

[curious_fan]

I believe Athletics track did have in the early NCC budgets money allocated to capital works there but if that's still the case or not after all the cost cutting etc I am not sure.

Does either Cooks Hill or Wallsend have a playing surface that will meet the standards? I'm asking not commenting, as I have not seen either for over 18 months and they may have improved since then but at those stages would have been pretty questionable.

From what I understand any promotion is not in any way linked to actually winning ZPL, it comes down to meeting the criteria in a sufficient enough level.

[Rocko]

Surely Wallsend would

Cooks Hill's ground at the start of the year was better than I thought it would be, if it didn't meet Newfm standard it couldn't be far off.

Should focus on the important criteria. decent pitch both size and prep, good change rooms, safe enviroment for crowd to watch and clean facilities - toilets canteen. stuff the fences etc. Then let the teams who deserve to play higher have a crack. Sure, if 1st doesnt want to go, offer to someone else. I think it would give the 2nd tier a needed and deserved boost.

New Lambton have been working hard to try and get this fixture played. The challenge again however is that NCC are unable to provide a suitable facility to play night games. I understand that the game will now be played at Kahibah and dates to be confirmed early this week.

We knew from the start of the season that there was going to be a sh!t fight facilities wise for one ZPL home game around the time of the slab pour (which should be this week)
It just happened to be crappy weather and we made do with what we had pop up marquee wise. I was quite surprised when I finally rocked up to see what was set up with all of the above considering.
It should all be good come the Cardiff games (9th Aug); legal grandstand access included. :whistling:

First grade match up was of good quality. The Eagles should wrap up top spot from here. Cookers need to show more consistency if they want to play finals football.

I prefer to disagree with some of your predictions leftrightout. Wallsend seem to be gaining good form currently. Two wins and two draws in the last four matches. Cooks Hill seem to be slipping. 2 losses, a draw and a win. Cooks Hill are away to Barnsley this weekend. Barnsley pounded them 6-1 in the first round.

Ressies:7-0 wallsend
Firsts:6-0 wallsend
All grades could've gone half a dozen goals more in wallsends way to be honest,not sure how many people Swansea had out though..must've been heaps..

Whats going on at Swansea? their 3rds and reserves have been doing it tough most of the year but their 1st grade were right up there.

[front2]

Yep Swansea were contenders going on the early-mid season results. The Eagles have been the bench mark with Mayfield next in line. From there a number of teams are jockeying for 3rd and 4th spot going into the final run.

[Football life]

New Lambton have been the team to beat all year IMO but Wallsend unbeaten in something like 7 games I think, could prove hard to beat come finals time. Should be a great end to the season! Cardiff all but relegated?

[front2]

I totally agree with your assessment regarding the Eagles and the Red Devils. Only one or two teams are out of finals contention. The ZPL competition imo is well above the other zone league comps as far as overall quality on the park is concerned.

The New Lambton Eagles will be holding their 'Old Boys Day' on the 16th August at Alder Park (fixture v Wallsend).
We hope to see a big crowd to watch two in form teams battle it out.

Cardiff all but relegated?

Amazing. They push for semis every year than one bad year get sunk. From what I have seen on the park its a fair result and might force a new direction at the club.

Barns v Cookers score?

I only know Barnsley 2-1 up 1st, Cookers won Ressies and draw in 3rds.
Keen to get a copy of team sheets for records...66% rule 'n all....
Can someone from Barnlsey PM me with details on who to contact plz?

[front2]

Lets hope they do to make it nice and tight in the run home.
Would love to go into the last round with 4 or 5 teams battling for the final 2 spots in the semis.

It is now a logjam for 3rd and 4th spots in !st grade. Wallsend, Cooks Hill, Dudley, Swansea and Barnsley all fighting for their place in the finals. With New Lambton defeating Uni it would appear Uni need to win their remaining three matches and rely on favourable results in the other fixtures to make it. Anything can happen. The mighty Eagles are in top spot and should remain there at season end. Cooks Hill are on shakey ground based on the their recent performances of the last five matches.

Stockton Sharks will be holding their old boys day this coming Saturday with all proceeds going to a great cause!

Any former Sharks of any form are encouraged to come along and support the day, as well as have a run in the Old Boys Match if theyre brave enough!

pretty hard to miss that advert.

Always amazes how a team lifts for old boys day. Does this represent slacking off during other games?

Coming off a 9 games unbeaten run so I wouldn't think so. Just an important day for us to reconnect with some of our past as the connections between us and the former state league Stockton side aren't as strong as you would like

[Football life]

Big weekend of football ahead! Any tips? my predictions are:
Swansea v NEW LAMBTON
MAYFIELD v Dudley
Cooks Hill v Cardiff Draw
Uni v BARNSLEY
Wallsend v Kahibah Draw

I was talking generally across the board about results.

I understand these days have been around for a while but it's great concept to help maintain a positive and hopefully an ongoing culture.
good luck with getting the northern peninsula back up the grades.

Ill say Wallsend will get over Kahibah.

ah fk, i forgot ZLg's have this shit semi's system.

I really enjoyed watching minor majors where teams are being cut or heading to the big one. instead get 1st leg farce or dead rubbers.

i know we've been over this before & some may like this system but for me disappointing.

[amishpanda]

Wallsend all three grades. Went something like:

3rds: 1-0?
Res: 2-1
Firsts: 2-0 with 10 men for 3/4 of the match.

All but cements finals football for firsts and thirds, provided firsts don't get belt by 5 goals a game from here on in.

Anyone from barnsley care to let everyone know what happened?

I can tell what didn't happen...and that was putting SP scores in. (Not the only ones)
Get out of the kitchen!
Not rocket science people.....

[pagey85]

2-2 with a minute to go. Barnsley get a free kick near half way. We send the keeper into the box. Ball isn't cleared after the free kick. Ball sent back in for the keeper to hit in the winner.

[pagey85]

Also 3-0 barnsley in 3rds
4-2 barnsley in res
3-2 barnsley in 1st.

Not sure who enters the scores

Just been told by the keeper himself that I forgot to add it was old boys day and the place went mental.

Yep, that's what I heard. Goal keeper scored In last minute to win game. I honestly didn't know if I believed it when told to me. You just don't here of a stuff like that! It's brilliant, would have loved to be there!

Rumour doing the rounds that a club from NEWFM is close to going bust.

Honestly don't know what club but was only told a club so does this mean a ZPL side will be promoted? If so who is the pick? I'd be guessing Cooks Hill will be close to being promoted or the Bay.

I've heard all the valo players are going back to the coast but have not heard the club will fold.

Think youll find newfm will be 10 teams next season and cooks hill would be favourite to be 1st in. Not sure who the team is ''going bust '' though.
